Thanks guys, I think you have saved me an unnecessary expense. So, I may be getting confused from the info on the Maya page for Certified Graphics Hardware. At the bottom it lists for Linux only the Quadro or the FirePro. Does this not mean that I can't run Linux on a GeForce? That doesn't make sense as it's just an operating system, right?

NextDesign: To avoid using ECC RAM, I could convert my submarine into a studio to house the workstation, as I would then not have to worry about electrical or magnetic interference so much at sub-sea level, lol.

jsprogg: In terms of RAM, I guess I'm gonna need a motherboard which supports at least 64GB Ram? Is it DDR4 I should be looking at buying?

I guess I'm gonna look at an SSD hard drive too, though I think they may be expensive. Would it be a good option to have a small SSD for booting and small data transfer and a large SATA for main storage?

I have found a good website for benchmark comparisons of hardware

And this one gives some good deals on purchases
